The award is presented annually to companies that are predicted to encourage significant growth in their industries, have identified emerging trends before they became the standard in the marketplace, and have created advanced technologies that will catalyze and transform industries in the near future.

In order to pick the right winner Frost & Sullivan independently evaluates two key factors, Strategy Innovation and Customer Impact. Brand, demand, and positioning, the companies must be a success in all three to achieve best-practice levels in competitive strategy. With the help of customized Decision Support Scorecard, it objectively analyzes performance according to key benchmarking criteria and assigns ratings on that basis.

“This award comes at a time when QualiSystems has established key industry partnerships around SDN/NFV testing and DevOps. Our customers demonstrate how we achieve automated, cloud-enabled DevOps-type practices in SDN and NFV testing,” says Lior Koriat, Chief Executive Officer at QualiSystems while speaking on the occasion.

Now for Software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) deployments, QualiSystems is developing an operational experience in an agile SDN and NFV platform with advanced network architecture by eliminating obstacles to develop and manage new network services based on SDN/NFV deployments.

For the Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership Award, Frost & Sullivan takes into account elements like what competitors are, and are not, doing, how the organization meets customer demand with a comprehensive, value-driven product or service portfolio and whether the company has established a brand that resonates deeply with customers and stands apart from other providers.

“QualiSystems has delivered a best-in-class purchase experience to end users, systematizing knowledge for hybrid programmer/non-programmer network teams and executing sustainable automation practices. We are happy to recognize its excellence with our award,” points out Mariano Kimbara, Frost & Sullivan industry analyst when asked about the reason behind choosing QualiSystems.
